Non-slip floor cleaning made faster and more effective
When safety flooring installed throughout Dowding Vets's Gainsborough site proved resistant to mop cleaning, a call to a specialist was in order. After the practice manager chatted over the 'phone with Prochem's tech team, the company organised a site visit for regional sales representative, James Callaghan.
"The practice had safety flooring throughout - which was proving difficult to clean with manual mops due to its non-slip nature - so traditional methods such as manual mopping and rotary machines were proving ineffective," says James.
James demonstrated cleaning the floors by applying Prochem's Ultrapac Renovate using a Lindhaus LW30 (240v) with a microfibre roller. A multi-functional lightweight floor scrubber drier, the LW30 offers high speed brush action and forward and reverse cleaning for confined areas.
Dowding Vets was delighted and bought into the solution: the supply and install was carried out by Prochem's local distributor Richard Mangan at Crystal Clear in Hull.
Says Richard: "The Lindhaus was a winner, being easy to use and manoeuvrable. Its roller holds the water and chemical in contact with the floor with an increased contact time, improving the cleaning outcome to a higher standard."
When it comes to healthcare, it pays not to forget the needs of our pets, says James…
"There are over 5,000 veterinary practices in the UK. Their hygiene needs can be as exacting as those of hospitals and care homes, making for a market offering good business prospects for professional cleaners in their locality."
